Galaxy S III Gets Torn to Pieces, Unveils Impressive Internals

Samsung’s Galaxy S III is already available for purchase in various markets around the world, and it is nearing its official availability in some more countries before the end of this month.

Enthusiasts rushed to grab the new Android flagship device from Samsung, yet there still are some who haven’t yet had the change to take a good look at it. For all current and future Galaxy S III owners, as well as for those who are only interested in learning more on it, the guys over at iFixit have a treat. They took the time to disassemble one Galaxy S III unit and to bring all of its inner parts to light. Thus, users can have a better look at the phone’s 4.8" Super AMOLED 720 x 1280 resolution display, as well as at its 1.4 GHz quad-core application processor, or the powerful 2100 mAh battery packed inside it. For those out of the loop, we should also note that the Galaxy S III arrives on shelves in some markets with a dual-core application processor clocked in at 1.5GHz.

Samsung chose to do so as the quad-core CPU could not offer support for the 4G LTE networks available in these countries. Moreover, the company decided to supplement the phone’s RAM in these cases, bumping it up from 1GB in the International version to up to 2GB in LTE markets. The internal memory of the new Samsung mobile phone ranges from 16GB to 32GB or 64GB, yet users will also be able to add microSD memory cards of up to 64GB into the mix, to ensure that they have all the storage space they need.

Galaxy S III also comes with an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with support for full HD video recording, as well as with a 1.9MP camera on the front for making video calls. All these, along with the rest of Galaxy S III’s internal circuitry, can be seen in the teardown photos that iFixit made available. You should head to their website for more info on the matter.
